Fedora 8 Games Spin released

Developers behind the Fedora Linux project have announced the availability of the Fedora 8 Games Spin edition.

This customized distro is based on Fedora and comes loaded with tons of Linux based games.

The developers say that this customized edition has been released to demonstrate the gaming potential of Fedora without altering user’s existing configuration.

Users can install this distro on their hard disks and even on pen drives.

Release Notes of the Fedora 8 Games Spin:

Just a installable Live DVD for now. Might have a Live CD in the future.
A dialog box for 3d games in Fedora when DRI is not available to help new users. (see the README in opengl-games-utils).
A autodownloader for gaming content for same Fedora games.
Many 3D-intensive games, both on a “best-foot forward” theory and to act as a sort of hardware purchasing Shibboleth. Take the disc to the store. If the card you’re considering won’t run your favorite games with free and open source drivers, you’ll know and can opt for another card.
Not just more mainstream action/puzzle/strategy games, but some educational and kid’s games, as well as simulators.
Game Spin specific theme, release notes and Firefox bookmarks are being considered for a future spin.
